Answer:
A parabola
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a quadratic equation so the graph will be a parabola.
The solutions are -2 and -7
Answer:
72.7
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiply 72 by 10
because 72 is 72 10s, making it a whole number.
then add 720 (72 times 10) to 7.
then all of that over 10.
then just divide.
727/10
72.7
this is what you do for all mixed numbers like that one.
Answer:
<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The patch grows to double its size everyday
the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days
Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.
Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>
<em></em>
Multiply the first equation by 2 to then use elimination by adding the 2 equations.
So, 14x-2y=14
+. x+2y=6
Equals 15x=20 so x=20/15=4/3
Plug in to first equation to get y
7(4/3)-y=7
28/3-y=7
28/3-y=21/3
So y=7/3
Plug both x and y into second equation to check
4/3+2(7/3)=
4/3+14/3=18/3=6 it works
So x=4/3, y=7/3
Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!
